Wisconsin author to hold meet-and-greet session at local wine bar
Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing, according to Ribar.
"What happens when you mix an icy Wisconsin winter, a stubborn wine-maker, a practical business partner and one mysterious death on a frozen lake?" the release asks. "'Deep Dark Secrets,' Ribar's new cozy mystery, offers up this cocktail for readers to sip, savor or gulp."
Ribar, a writing instructor at Madison College, presents Frankie Champagne, a spunky 40-something woman who concocts delicious bakery and produces fruity wines in her Deep Lakes shop, Bubble and Bake, the release states. Although Frankie is a successful businesswoman, she has more to prove to the town and to the local newspaper editor, who wouldn't hire her as a reporter. So, Frankie involves herself in a murder investigation despite having no formal training for the job.
The novel highlights plenty of Wisconsin products, places and happenings, the release notes.
Since the book's publication in June, Ribar has been on tour all over the state continuing through the holiday season.
A list of events and appearances may be found at JoyRibar.com.
Ribar taught high school and college English courses for many years at Pardeeville, then began a part-time career teaching at Madison College in 2017.
Ribar says shorter work days left her with more time on her hands than she was accustomed to, so she began writing the novel from ideas that came to her when she couldn't sleep.
Besides touring the state with her current book, she is finishing Book 2 in the series, "Deep Bitter Roots," which she hopes will be released next year.
Ribar holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from UW-Madison and a master's degree in education from UW-Oshkosh.
